Rep. Steven Horsford, a U.S. Congress member representing Nevada's 4th district, recently shared his thoughts on social media regarding the historical significance of Las Vegas' Historic Westside and issues related to personal data security under the Trump administration. Horsford has been vocal about these subjects, emphasizing their importance in his tweets.

On February 3, 2025, Rep. Steven Horsford tweeted about the Historic Westside of Las Vegas, describing it as "more than a neighborhood—it was a lifeline." He noted that when Black people were not welcome on the Strip, this area "thrived with Black-owned businesses, culture, and resilience." "The Historic Westside was more than a neighborhood—it was a lifeline. When Black people weren’t welcome on the Strip, the Westside thrived with Black-owned businesses, culture, and resilience."

In another tweet posted shortly after on February 3, 2025, he asserted that "Las Vegas history IS Black history," expressing his determination to ensure that this legacy is preserved. "Las Vegas history IS Black history. Our legacy won’t be erased. #WestsideVegas #BlackHistory #VegasHistory"

Later that day, Rep. Horsford addressed concerns over data security involving Elon Musk and former President Donald Trump. He alleged that Trump allowed Musk access to payment systems managing Social Security and other critical services and declared his commitment to legislative and legal actions to safeguard citizens' information. "Trump let Elon Musk into pay systems that handle Social Security, tax refunds, Medicare & Medicaid, savings bonds & more...He has YOUR information. I’m fighting to protect YOU with legislation & legal action. Enough is enough of this Musk/Trump chaos."
